Y2Y Youth Retreat Dec 2016
Our Y2y ministry retreat in Singapore, Changi Aloha last December 2016. We had fun, grew spiritually, bonded with each other, and drew closer to God.
Elohim, God
My thoughts about our Elohim:
1.Without God (Elohim), There Is No Beginning:
I am here only because of God. He made me. Without Him, I will not even exist. I love my life. I love living. That is why I am so thankful the He created me so that I can have being.
Who do we worship, the Creator or the created things? Created things will not last longer than the Creator. The Creator provides forever. Created things breaks frequently.
2.All Of God’s (Elohim) Creation Is Good – And It Is Made For Me.
Our world is God’s gift for us. That is awesome. Imagine, planet earth was created to be my playground. I love this gift. It is no wonder we, as people, love nature. A place of peace, enjoyment, and tranquility.
3.I’m Special – I Am Created In God’s (Elohim) Image
Unique. There is no another me. I am the only edition. Better than special edition. It is the best edition. Best because I am made by the best craftsman in the universe.
He is Elohim, my God.

Of Sticks and Giants
He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. (1 Samuel 17:43)
I started to read a book given to me, “David and Goliath” by Malcolm Gladwell. Great book with illuminative insights on how to overcome giants with sticks. Even from the beginning, chapter one is filled with insights –
Goliath is not always the giant he seems to be. He too has his weak spots. Use your strengths, exploit his weaknesses, have the courage to fight differently, forget the standardized methods, and most importantly- have attitude. Even giants can fall. People might laugh at your unorthodox methods. Using sticks to fight giants is unorthodox. Yet sticks overcame the giant, Goliath.
What are your Goliaths, standing tall and seemingly terrifyingly against your life? Remember, they are not always the giants that they seem to be. If used well, sticks can overcome giants.

Caring Confrontation Heals
Proverbs 27:5 “Better is open rebuke than hidden love.”
Not talking about strong feelings doesn’t make them go away; in fact, they become more pronounced in our attempts to live as though they don’t exist. The two people in this kind of relationship try to get along by skirting issues, their emotions, and ultimately their deep love for each other, and they end up with a shell of a relationship. (Quote from Cloud and Townsend).
Let us learn to have caring confrontation and emphatic conversation in your marriage, parenting, and friendships, so that your relationships can heal, grow, and be even more intimate. Relationships can heal.
Youth Sharing in 2016 Y2Y Retreat (in Chinese)
Youths sharing what they learned from the bible during the Dec 2016 Y2Y Changi Aloha Retreat in Singapore. Three videos – Group 1, 2, and 3. Sharing is in chinese language. I appreciate their courage. Some of them were as young as 12 years old. But they shared with convictions.
